Blinkers on for the first time ever and the Zephyr just sped away from them like a horse possessed.  I wonder if the connections might be tempted to give the Dan a couple more runs with the blinkers on? 

Anyway,  it's trifecta time again ... the Kingsford-Smith Cup & the Queensland Oaks are the 2 standout choices and I'll throw in a 3rd choice from Randwick. 

If you've got a preference just post up your choice at your convenience @Dee Zephyr @Wadda We Sing  @binman

3 very good races there Macca. Hard to split them really , with some standout horses in each race.

I mean the distance is against Savacool, but at $8.50? worth a shot...

Equador would be my pick of the lot.

Im happy with any of those, but Equador at home is a good thing.

Hold your horses!! You’re wondering on the right track Macca. Spoke to mate today and they are considering giving the Zephyr one more run with the blinkers on. Admittedly the win was in a weak field of 4 and had the horse lost it would have been in the paddock definitely. Will provide further updates soon. 

Will check out the trifecta options when I get home a little later.

And continuing my theme of highlighting the overseas Group 1's whilst our racing gets scaled back for the winter, here are the 3 Group 1's scheduled for this weekend (The Curragh - Ireland) 

Sky Racing1 & 2 are covering the events for those who have cable but I believe the FTA racing station does cover these big events from time to time.  Especially at the Royal Ascot week long carnival in June where we'll see some Aussie representation.

To be honest i dont understand blinkers........the horse Zephyr led all the way from the barriers right?....he couldnt have seen very much of the other horses could he?? Why would the blinkers make any difference? Maybe he just likes having stuff on his head?? What about trying a bandana and sunglasses~ ?  Maybe a latte after the run.....

Blinkers are an Australian invention you know.

Go Zeph.

I’m happy with any of the 3 Macca, here’s my order of preference in case a “tiebreaker” is required.

1. McKell Cup - Randwick

2. Kingsford-Smith Cup - Doomben

3. Queensland Oaks - Doomben

I also lean toward the top 2.  ....then again we could do all 3~! :)

My preference would be the Kingsford-Smith Cup so Wadda,  you can decide out of the top 2 preferences if you like.

Ha ha!  I reckon we'll get this one Wadda but not sure about the dividend for the trifecta.  However,  I play around with our picks and incorporate a first4 in there as well. 

I really like Le Romain as well but I'm third up this time around so it's over to @Dee Zephyr

We could always have a go at the McKell Cup as well - punters lament and all that!

Same format and we can play around with the picks as we see fit ... as previously stated,  with the small fields it's not a bad idea to eliminate 3 or 4 horses and then shoot for the first4. 

Just a thought. 

ps ... the Oaks race is very tricky with a lot of the horses that may be at the end of their respective campaigns (already)

Impending for the trifecta fellas. I don’t mind throwing in a pick for the McKell as well Macca.

Yep ... we'll get this one out of the way first DZ and then we can throw things open for the McKell Cup. 

I'll take 'English'  as the 3rd pick to win ... although,  I reckon it's a race in 2 between Impending & Le Romain.  There's a couple of others that have run some very slick times of late but not at WFA level or against this sort of class field. 

So it's over to @binman  to finish things off in the Kingsford-Smith Cup - we'll need 2 placegetters BM.

  • W/2/3  Le Romain
  • W/2/3  Impending
  • W/2/3  English
  • 2/3       ????????
  • 2/3       ????????

Well now youve mentioned it we better go that one too.........i already know what my pick is, but we will finish this one off first i guess.

Well whilst BM is picking out his certainties we can go ahead and kick things off with the McKell Cup ... you liked Ecuador yeah?

There are some other good fields up in Doomben apart from the 2 feature races ...  specifically races 3,  4,  6 & 9.  'It's Somewhat' looks a standout in The Lord Mayors Cup (race 4)

You’re spot on Macca, Doomben is shaping up as a really good day for racing. I had a look at the whole card a short time ago and there are some terrific races. 

I have a selection for the McKell Cup. I’m going for a value runner in No.5 Lovani. 

Edit: Did I go too early? Wadda hasn’t declared his pick yet I see.

Not sure it matters a great deal DZ ... the 3rd pick is the tricky one as we're looking for a bit of value.  But your pick 'Lovani' offers that value already so I may play it safe.

Yep its Equador from me Macca. Gai at home in a big race everytime and ive been following it so not getting off now....

And I'll take 'Our Century' ... in form,  lightly raced and has won or placed 3 times from 3 runs at the distance.  Avdulla on board is a plus too.  

So here's how our 2nd trifecta race is looking ...

McKell Cup - Randwick Race 7

  • W/2/3  Ecuador
  • W/2/3  Lovani
  • W/2/3  Our Century
  • 2/3       ????????
  • 2/3       ????????

So if you've got the inclination to part with your wisdom on this race @binman , just post up a couple of likely placegetters at your leisure. 

Best Bet: Doomben Race 5 No.3 Zousain

TAB Odds: $3.10

Drawn nicely and McEvoy booked to take the ride again. He’s ridden the horse to both career wins to date and his last victory looked soft in the end. Settled back and showed a devastating turn of foot upon straightening to reel in the leaders quickly and finished off with the old “hands and heels” method. 

I believe this horse has plenty more to offer, certainly looks a star of the future.

We need you to do the Kingsford-Smith Cup as well ... another 2 pkacegetters.  We are doing 2 Trifecta races this week.  Le Romain  Impending & English are taken already!

At your convenience BM  ?

I’m not huge on the punt but do get the odd bit of mail which is occasionally profitable. Tomorrow I have these:

Doomben R2 - 11 Heavenly Thought

Doomben R6 - 12 Schism

Doomben R9 - 11 The Bostonian 

Sandown R2 - 13 Dane Thunder

They are all worth a few $ each way and throwing in any multiples.

Nice one PD. Drop in anytime~! We look at all tips. :)

 

 

A late one...Gold Coast R2 - 4 Dafeenah.

The last 2 have been scratched PD but the first 2 picks offer very good value - especially the Darren Weir trained 'Heavenly Thought' ... and 'Schism' is overdue to salute but again,  it is very good each-way odds.

An interesting one is 'Dafeenah' ... the bookies have kept it safe.  Opened at about 5-2 and has stayed at those odds.

It's only run is where it finished 12th of 12 where the horse looked like it over-raced.  Won both it's trials though.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
